Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra are the three most popular erectile dysfunction drugs on the market today, but there are various differences between each erectile dysfunction drug that go beyond their mere manufacturers.
Pfizer created the brand name of Viagra from sildenafil citrate. It is an erectile dysfunction drug in the form of tablets that was approved by the FDA in 1998. So far, it has been concluded as safe and a great way in curing impotence in men.
When the penis is relaxed and full of blood, nerve signals release hormones and male erections take place. Viagra is an erectile dysfunction drug that aids in producing penis erections when something seems to come in the way of it. Since retaining blood in the tissues leads to ultimate stiffening, Viagra stops the chemicals that allow blood to flow out of the tissues.
Research has shown that almost 90% of Viagra users were satisfied with how this erectile dysfunction drug helps create and keep penis erections. Viagra usually takes half an hour to work, although sometimes it may take up to four hours. Given that sex lasts half an hour on average, this gives people plenty of time.
Eli Lilly Company created the brand name of Cialis from tadalafil. Similar to Viagra, Cialis is an erectile dysfunction drug taken in 50mg (though there are also 25mg and 100mg available). The dosage of Cialis is different from Viagra and is usually prescribed per individual.
Like Viagra, Cialis also usually takes half an hour to work, but the effect lasts for up to 36 hours after taking this erectile dysfunction drug. Research has shown that almost 78% of Cialis users were satisfied with how this erectile dysfunction drug helped in curing impotence, plus lasted much longer.
Bayer Pharmaceuticals created the brand name of Levitra, which GlaxoSmithKline and Schering-Plough have put on the market, from vardenafil. Similar to both Viagra and Cialis, Levitra is an erectile dysfunction drug that lessens the blood flow out of the penis. Research has shown that almost 80% of Levitra users were satisfied with how this erectile dysfunction drug helped in curing impotence within an hour. This erectile dysfunction drug can also last up to four hours, as with Viagra.
All of these erectile dysfunction drugs work the same way. Deciding which to use to solve erection problems depends on the patient’s personal circumstances, such as medical history, symptoms or diagnosis of the erection problems, as well as general heath.
If other nitrate -based heart medications are already being taken, Viagra should be avoided. Each individual must be investigated case by case, in order to find potential side effects to the erectile dysfunction medicine, such as those that may interfere with one’s blood pressure.
Patients will be warned, depending on the real reasons behind their erectile dysfunction. Make sure to consult with a professional consultation at all times before taking an erectile dysfunction drug.
